“It has truly been a feat to close down Las Vegas Boulevard on a Sunday morning each of the past two years and now we are doing the impossible by closing down the entire Strip at night, taking this event to the next level,” Peter Englehart, CEO of Competitor Group, said in a press release. “We believe the unique experience that we’re going to deliver on the Strip at night makes this race so much different than any other and our goal is to put this event on the global ‘bucket list’ of races for runners around the world. A Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon on the Las Vegas Strip at night, what could be better than that?”
